My track record with friends is not good. Up until about 6 years ago I never lived in a place long enough to lose a friend, due to living in the military. However, since being in NJ all that has changed.
I don't know why, but friends always betray me. My mom says that I reveal myself to people to easily and I trust too much. I must admit, when I make a friend I trust them implicitly, and tell them my innermost secrets. I guess I feel, they can trust me, so I should trust them. Right? NOT!
Every friend I have made in NJ has betrayed me except for one that moved and one that died.
Sometimes I think maybe I am at fault, but don't know what to change. I am one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Never mean. I don't know. What's wrong with me? I need a friend.

maybe the fact that you seem so open and honest and are so trusting leads people to abuse your trust. how do they abuse your trust, though?

Several people have told other people things I have told them in confidence.Some just break my trust by being mean to me when I believe they are my friend. It's hard to explain, I guess.

I've experienced my share of betrayals. Recently a friend I never thought would turn their back on me has done just that all because of a guy...her guy.
The issue isn't we both like him, its that he isn't good for her and I gave her an honest opinion and she didn't like it.
We can be friends :) I'll never betray you

I am so sorry for your trouble! I have been betrayed before ,yes...and I have tried to learn something while trying to stay sane...I too share my heart and soul with people and sometimes find that they have judged it and turned some things into gossip. I found out that I can't trust them but I CAN trust me and I found that my circle of trust was a lot smaller than I had thought.
But it is a nice, tight little circle and I have not missed the others as I blessed them and let them go.

Trust is something that I think takes time to build up LTB.
Maybe your mom has a good point? Don't trust so quickly?
Perhaps that would give you time to determine if the person is trustworthy?

Mom is right (sigh) lol! Although, I am an extremely open person and feel like I am lying when I "hold back" from people. Therefore, I leave myself vulnerable.
Mamie..thanks!
